Well, whatever you're trying to inquire about must be new or something. Amainhobbies doesn't have those part numbers.


Oh ok. Found them elsewhere. Why would you think they are longer?

I don't know, I haven't worked up there for a couple of weeks now. You'd have to ask Froboy

How often do you guys replace shock springs? Over time mine have been sandblasted pretty bad. I'm sure the spring is fatigued after a whole season of racing. And it's time for me to step up the program, fresh parts.

Default buggy front clutch bearings ?

Hi All,

My losi is destroying the front bearings every 20 mins or so, I have replaced them so often I lost count.

I run standard 4 shoe losi clutch and shim / adjust the clutchbell for endfloat.

Has anyone got any ideas??

Cente diff moving? or anything else common.

Many thanks .

Hey, need help on getting the spur gear off the diff. Can't work out where this little pin is, is it on the bearing side?

Wink

Actually the pin is through the cup's shaft on the inside of the diff. It acts to key the beveled gear in place and to hold the shaft in. Take the gear off by pulling it straight up being careful not to mess with the teeth. You will then be able to slide the pin out of the shaft for removal.
Pay attention to your bearing orrientation and grease the shaft when you reassemble it.
Hope this helps.
